"He seems like a kid as he plays. You can feel the childlike nature of the play with him"
I love this perspective from Steve Carell on Carlos Alcaraz. It aligns so well with our values and belief in the transformative value of 'play.'
It is a life philosophy, and one that can often feel absent from the demands of elite sport.
I have spoken previously about there seemingly being two distinct views of sport:
1) Sport is about win at all costs
2) Sport, while rooted in a competitive spirit, is a creative act
Research highlights that play enhances creativity, provides wellbeing benefits amongst many other things, yet in elite sport is often expected or perceived that smiles and enjoyment suggest that an athlete is slacking or not taking things seriously.
This applies to all walks of life, including the worlds of content and marketing...
We have all heard people say "marketing is not life or death - we are not doctors or surgeons" yet it is easy to get ushered in to the seriousness, demands and pressures of our work.
In a world where we compete hard in seemingly every area of our lives, Alcaraz is evidence that there is another Way to Play 😉 and that elite performance can be enhanced when understanding there is a very different mode of approaching competition and attaining successful outcomes on and off the court.

Hear from some of our dedicated team - oh, and of course some of the biggest names in tennis...
Acing your tennis serve is like crafting a work of art on the court. It’s the fusion of power, precision, and finesse that makes each serve unique.
The key elements?
Start with your stance – the foundation of your serve’s strength. The ball toss sets the stage, guiding your motion’s rhythm and timing. Finally, it’s the kinetic chain of motion, a symphony of body coordination, that generates the explosive power to send that ball rocketing across the net.
In the following posts, I will talk more about this shot and the exercises you can use to improve it.
